In this modern time of blaming our health woes on the fast food industry and requesting 1/2lb angus burgers without a bun to so that we don’t have to excercise because we consumed all those pesky carbohydrates, I have chosen the tread the path less traveled. I have decided constantly raise the bar, and outglut myself whenever possible. On Tuesday, I attempted to consume two “chicken & more” meals (each meal consists of: 3 batter dipped chicken planks, fries, 2 hushpuppies, coleslaw)from Long John Silver’s as well as a 7 piece boneless honey bbq chicken box from KFC–all in one sitting. Unfortunately, I was only able to consume the chicken & more meals, and had to save the KFC for later.

Hot on the heels of this disappointing performance, however, I stepped up to the plate again today. This time, I almost knocked it out of the park, but still fell short of my desired goal. I was able to consume 2 quarter-pounder-with-cheese value meals, 2 double cheeseburgers, and 10 chicken mcnuggets– but this was 10 chicken nuggets short of my goal.

Just for reference, that is: 3,730 Calories; 178 grams of Total Fat; 6,790 milligrams of Sodium. Not bad for a small guy (5’9, 165lbs), right?

It strikes me that I really have been “different” all my life. I still am, I guess, but it’s just that now I am beginning to see the world as many others have seen it all their lives. It becomes peculiar to have both views of the world, because I have been letting myself feel from the normal view but still analyzing things from my own perspective. When I try to assess a situation, I come up with a logical and reasonable answer, but my feelings tell my brain to fuck off and I just keep doing things however my whims decide.
